Product Description

The Buddhists describe mindfulness practice as pure awareness: cultivating the power of the present moment. Through Mindfulness meditation you can develop a healthier body and mind and greater levels of happiness and contentment.

The first track is a guided mindfulness meditation containing the Theta metronome brainwave rhythm. Track 2 is the same meditation containing the Delta rhythm (see below for more on the Brainwave rhythms and the benefits). The third track is a discussion on the many aspects of Mindfulness Meditation.

Meditation brings peace to our heartsBreathe in the stillnessand breathe out feelings of gratitude for this life- James Wild

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Note from James Wild: Meditation has given me great joy in my life and I have found the brainwave rhythms to be very effective - using both theta and delta. Because of the great amount of feedback over the years from people who use our brainwave metronomes, I created these two meditations for those who want the brainwave rhythms combined with mindfulness practice.

Research information on Brainwave StatesDue to the collective electrical activity of neurons, the brain produces a resonant frequency measured in cycles per second or hertz (Hz) called a brainwave state. At any one time the brain produces all frequencies but collectively a dominant one can be measured. The brain is highly dynamic and during the day and night we pass through all states being dependent on our physical and mental activities.

Gamma (40+Hz) associated with a lift in mood, happiness, intelligence and greater feelings of love for oneself and others.Beta (14+Hz) - everyday working conscious state - as you read these lines you are most likely in the Beta state. Alpha (7-14Hz) - a calm relaxed state. Occurs while daydreaming and during light meditation but can also occur when one is focused and mentally alert. Has links to dreaming during sleep, simple problem solving and a positive outlook on life.Theta (4-7Hz) - for deep meditation, relaxation and exploring psychic phenomena. Associated with creative insight, flashes of intuition, advanced problem solving, altered states, better sleep and boosting immune system function. Delta (1-4Hz) - associated with deep sleep and body healing but also linked to benefits of deep meditative states such as profound visions, bliss and altered states.

Research using techniques known as Biofeedback has shown that an external stimulus (such as the repetitive metronome tone) induces the brain to match the resonant frequency. This enables the subject to access the different levels of brainwave activity. Many people have shown that through practice they can maintain consciousness while accessing the benefits of being in any of these states. These include deep relaxation; more energy and better sleep; enhanced focus and concentration; accelerated learning; feelings of joy, happiness and compassion; body healing; plus phenomena associated with altered states of consciousness such as out of body experiences, feeling of rebirth, vivid dream recall, an explosion in creativity, strange time/space occurrences and many others.
